Without thinking, he threw the shoes in the trash and did not realize his error until after the sanitation workers carted them away. But, after a two-hour search through the contents of a city trash truck the retired schoolteacher located both shoes and recovered his money. I fleshed out the story a bit and then asked the question — “When you need to recover your treasure — where will you have to go? To the Garbage Dump? What are you investing in — future garbage? Or the Kingdom of God?
